Our Feathered Friends Almost unnoticed amid the excitement and hardships of the great floods this year has been the increase of the insects and spiders. The unusual amount of rainfall and floods has not only driven the insects from the swamps and low places but has provided a suitable condition for them to increase to enormous numbers.
